Paula Lambert is a renowned cheesemaker and entrepreneur. In 1982 she founded the award-winning Mozzarella Company, a small cheese factory in Dallas, Texas. Today, the company produces some of the best Hispanic-influenced cheeses this side of the border. Inspired by the fabulous cheese from the beautiful Mexican state of Oaxaca, this has quickly developed a cult following in our tasting rooms here at igourmet. If you've never tasted Queso Oaxaca, think of it as a Mexican mozzarella. Hand-stretched into long ribbons of string cheese and rolled up like a ball of yarn, it has a subtle flavor and a wonderful texture. Very versatile, this cheese is also the base for the classic Mexican dish Queso Fondido, a Central American twist on fondue.

I'm experimenting with Mexican cheeses that I can't find locally. My order of Queso Oaxaca from igourmet.com was delivered very quickly and tasted great in the tacos I made.

Need to buy this locally

I bought three unbelievable cheeses from igourmet. This cheese was the most incredible because I had never had anything like it...it does resemble fresh mozzarella, but the taste is unlike anything else. It melts wonderfully and remains light in the recipe. Great cheese once again!~

The best I've found in the USA

I've lived in Oax and know the cheese there is the best. Nothing compares in the USA like this cheese. There is no authentic Oax cheese in the USA.

Sadly, not what it claims to be

I'm Mexican, and I was seeking for the real product, like the one I have at home.The taste, is not even similar, and even when it's different, it's not good.It is not like how its pictured either. Not the real deal.
